I've posted this before, but will add it again here just based on the Perfect Stealth Rig thread topic-

My "almost-perfect stealth rig" would use a 4 or 5 channel d:Vice > phone. Alas, such a device does not exist. The current d:Vice is 2ch only and it doesn't appear that two can be run simultaneously into a single phone, which would make for a non-perfect work-around anyway.

My "perfect stealth rig" would use a custom-built very small, single-purpose, multichannel recorder with mic powering built in. I would need to run some tests to confirm the number of channels I'd really require in my "perfect rig", but it would be somewhere between 5 and 8. I keep my eye on the DIY recorder threads here with this as a long-term goal.

I'm curious how you would run 4 or 5 mics in a stealth setting (While this question is pretty much academic since the pre/recorder for it doesn't exist, as you noted, it would be an interesting thought experiment...for PMs of course.)

^ if your DPAs terminate to microdots, which I assume is the case since you use the MMA6000, then yes.

However, only the newer 40xx discrete capsules can be connected to the newer MMA-GR/GS cables that terminate to microdots can be run with the MMA d:vice "puck". The older 402x line will not pair with the d:vice, however.

Wow.... I had no idea that was the case. That is unbelievably awesome.

Cables are US$430 a pop. And then capsules at $1300 a pop. Not cheap but I'm sure it'd work nicely.

Ain't it?

Yeah, it's a bit of an expensive cost barrier to entry, which is probably why we haven't seen anyone taking the plunge yet. I've priced it out multiple times only to conclude by saying to myself, "hmpf! maybe another day".

Probably a stupid question as I have been primarily a stealth taper that is vertically challenged. With that being said, I have always put mics in a cap. How are others setting up their pics?Please PM. Sorry for hijacking the thread a bit.
